NEW CONTENT
Time to fight for survival. This update expands the fight with new rewards to earn, a new frontline support vehicle to deploy, and Operation Augur, a new limited-time mode fought across Contaminated and Hagental Base.
Battle Pass Bonus Path
Gear up for the harsh conditions ahead with a new Battle Pass Bonus Path packed with rewards built for the fight. Unlock equipment and cosmetics designed to help you endure the hostile environment and stay combat-ready as the battle for control intensifies.
New Limited-Time Mode
Operation Augur: The battle for Hagental Base has begun. In Operation Augur, NATO launches a desperate push to reclaim its satellite defence network from Pax Armata in a large-scale battle fought across two connected maps.
The fight begins in Contaminated, where attacking forces can use VL-7 smoke to disrupt defenders and create openings across the frontline. From there, the battle descends into Hagental Base, where the fighting shifts into a tense close-quarters clash through tight interior spaces where teamwork, timing, and tactical play become critical to claim victory over Hagental Base.
Operation Augur is all-out warfare across two phases of combat, where strong squad play will make the difference between holding the line and breaking through.
New Vehicle
The LTV: The NATO variant of the Traverser Mark 2 arrives on the frontline. Built to keep squads in the fight, the LTV supports your team with spawn functionality and health and ammo resupply stations. With four seats available, it gives your squad the space and support needed to stay together, push objectives, and hold ground under pressure.
New Weapon
The Ripper 14”: Sharpen your attack with the Ripper 14”, a deadly new blade built for aggressive close-quarters combat. Fast, direct, and unforgiving, it is made for players who want to finish the fight up close. Obtainable through Hunter/Prey Battlepass Progression.
New Training Path in REDSEC Battle Royale
The Hazmat Breacher is a new Training Path for the Assault Class in Battle Royale designed to empower its users into becoming the ultimate entry fragger. Leveraging a modified Breaching Dart Launcher firing a concentrated form of VL-7 Smoke, players are able to weaken and dislodge dug-in foes, while protecting themselves from negative effects thanks to their Protective Mask. Leveling up this Training Path throughout a BR match will provide improvements to both the Protective Mask and to basic soldier survivability.
Major Updates for 1.2.3.0
New Content Arrives: Operation Augur arrives alongside the LTV, the Ripper 14”, and a new Battle Pass Bonus Path that expands the rewards available during the fight for survival.
Progression Feels More Rewarding: Weapon XP and Vehicle XP are now earned through active use alongside kills and assists, XP rates have been increased slightly across Multiplayer, and Battle Royale and Gauntlet progression now place more weight on time spent in a match, with Battle Royale also awarding higher scores for kills and damage assists.
Battle Royale and Gauntlet Improvements: Loot flow has been updated, Strike Packages and Armour Plate availability have been rebalanced, and a wider pass on challenge tracking, objective progression, and End of Round presentation helps both modes play and reward more consistently.
Combat Feedback and Gameplay Clarity: Incoming hit audio is now clearer, rapid damage is easier to read, projectile and tracer behaviour is more consistent, and network warning indicators now provide better visibility during live combat.
Weapons and Gadgets Receive a Broad Polish Pass: Defibrillators and the AJ-03 COAG Med Pen have been updated, while attachments, animations, unlock presentation, and challenge tracking have all seen further improvements.
UI, HUD and Front-End Improvements: Menus, challenges, loadouts, End of Round screens, localisation, Store presentation, and Battle Pass readability have all been updated to improve clarity and consistency across the experience.
Portal, AI, Audio and Settings Enhancements: Bot support has been expanded across Multiplayer and Operations, Portal tools and web app behaviour have been improved, audio has received further polish, and new controller tuning support has been added through the Deadzones Draw Tool.
